When given the opportunity to bring our community together in a setting that celebrates both food and wine, we will gladly raise our hand and move mountains to make it happen - especially when it involves getting to spend time, in real life, with our over 40 talented Los Angeles feedfeed community members.

In late March, we kicked off a series of three dinners across the country with Austerity Wine - celebrating #FeedFeed & #SimplyElevated

Starting in Los Angeles, we had the pleasure of hosting an intimate dinner to introduce our community to Austerity Wines and to showcase the wine with the food of Chef Suzanne Goin of Lucques in Los Angeles.

Joined by Austerity’s wine marker, Steven DeCosta, our guests learned a bit about the wine while they dined over three courses of expertly prepared food. The pairings were exquisite!
